Hidden Dimensions Beyond Space and Time

The
various tour stops to follow will alternately cover both scientific
and scriptural topics — depending on the area of the time line
you are viewing at any point along the way.

For
now, think about your existence and human knowledge
gained from science... there are some things our senses alone cannot
confirm, yet something is extra ordinarily a part of your being here!
For example, we
are all intimately familiar with the concept of 4 dimensions. Three
of space and one of time. That's all there is... Right?

Well, no,
perhaps not... not if you ask the cosmologists, physicists, and theoretical
scientists who have worked out the mathematics to demonstrate our
universe may be home to as many as 11 or more
dimensions. The theories behind this appear to await confirmation,
but the idea of these additional dimensions is serious science.

So, where
are these other dimensions? Are they missing or here, right here,
in the same space where we are?

To keep this
as simple as possible, let us just restate that there is more to
our existence than just what our senses tell us. It's not ''sense''
knowledge, but a form or ''revealing'' knowledge beyond our senses
that's important here! Yes, we are saying there is more to the life
experience than smell, touch, sight, etc. A revealing of other knowledge
beyond the senses (a.k.a. 'revelation knowledge') is much like finding
design in the universe for features that are hard to explain simply
in naturalistic terms alone. We can find certain effects but without
readily identifying a material cause. This reveals special possibilities!
See our Science section on design for
more on this type of perspective.

The
extra hidden dimensions can be thought of
as being tucked away within the time
and space we are familiar with. But these
dimensions are key to understanding more
about the beginning of our universe (See
the Creator's
Window Part II for additional thoughts
on this). When thinking about a beginning
to the time line, about eternity, existing
before now, and an eternity to follow beyond
the end of this time line, then isn't it
as incredibly marvelous and fascinating
to have scientists who can describe added
dimensions that seem out of our ordinary
experience.

All that you
accept as a familiar setting for life is actually couched within
something that's truly the unfamiliar! It's easy to lose sight of
this and be focused on the day-to-day issues... but we want you to
step back a bit and look at this added perspective. Life includes
these twists that beg your attention. Our existence is defined by
extra ordinary features.

Just think,
if there were a second dimension of time, then it would be possible
for a being to visit every moment in time all the time — not
just to travel along one time line alone nor to travel but one direction
(only forward, never back in time). Might one of the extra dimensions
be of time?

The entire
concept of a time line is particularly unique... this experience
we share is all aligned along one of the dimensions that was itself
created at the very start of the universe. Before then, there was
no such dimension of time, from the window we see time starts at
time = 0 and counting! That is time, but what of the other dimensions...
what do they do?
